Nightwish - The Poet and The Pendulum
Without a doubt Tuomas Holopainen adores the same dark playfulness of a Danny Elfman score as I do. Many people debate the creditability of Nightwish’s new album “Dark Passion Play” and the band’s new singer Anette Olzon. I believe if people …
Sometimes you can’t make it on your own (song by, U2)
U2 is an Irish rick band and they brought out an album a while back named “How to dismantle and atomic bomb.” Interesting title if I do say so myself.

“Deth Red Sabaoth” by Danzig (LP, 2010)
It has been six long years since the relatively unimpressive “Circle Of Snakes” record, but the long wait has been far worth it. To the people who thought Glenn Danzig was finally on his way out, this epic release gives them a sure wake-up call. With quality that surpasses …

The Rolling Stones - Susie Q (Song)

“Justified” Album by Justin Timberlake

Billy’s Christmas Wish by Red Sovine

Three Libras - A Perfect Circle

Arise is the fourth album by Sepultura released in 1991, this is a pure thrash metal album before the band started to get weird, many fans call this the bands last great album, and best album. The band traveled to the home of death metal, Florida, to work …
Barbra Streisand: I’ve Dreamed of You CD
I didn’t realize that I had Barbra Streisand: I’ve Dreamed of You CD in my collection. I assume it’s a version of a CD single because there are only two songs on it. I’m not sure I realized they made two-song CDs.
What would be the A side …

Green Day - Time Of Your Life (Music Video)
Overview —“ Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life), is the second music video released for Green Day’s record Nimrod. Time Of Your Life would probably have to be one of the most well known Green Day songs if not the absolute most well known one. I’m sure that even …

The Behind the Big Orange Curtain featurette shows the beginning of the Josh Groban Awake concert from Salt Lake City, Utah. I love seeing this behind the scenes look. I’m very interested by seeing how concepts come together and what goes in to making a production come …
In Flames Come Clarity CD
I never thought that In Flames would ever change up some of their style(i.e the cheesy guitar riffs and the drums), and they did just that. Also, with the added keyboardist, added some atmosphere to their music, which is nice.
THEY ADDED A GROOVE! I have always wanted In Flames …
